A City Sleeps is an intriguing take on shoot ‘em ups, but the limited content and out of reach powers keep it from reaching its potential.
A City Sleeps is a better experiment than it is a game for dedicated fans of rhythm games and shoot-'em-ups.
A City Sleeps plays more as an artsy passion project for the studio than as a fully realized title, something that becomes apparent as soon as you start to consider the story.
I'm not one to complain about games being too short very often, but A City Sleeps doesn't allow itself enough breathing room to fully explore its own central concept.
I’ve never been so bored with a shooter before.
A City Sleeps feels like a half-made game. Perhaps if they had a little more time or budget to add a few more Dreams, and even out the experience for players of all skill levels, it might have been something special.
I could go on for ages pointing out this game’s shortcomings, but what’s the point? It’s a fairly competent shmup, but so underdeveloped, that it’s not worth your time. [03/2014, p.81]
